Wednesday's events, 7/7

Left Chamberlain, SD about 10:30 heading east on I-90. Would probably got an earlier start except one of us slept in a little longer than normal. Must have been the cookies and pop consumed the night before. Anyway, there were storm clouds all along our path this day. Stopped a couple of times to check the radar and forecast and actually altered our route to try to avoid storms by going south on I-29. No such luck, we got caught in a storm just north of Sioux City, IA causing us to wait at a rest stop for about an hour before continuing on I-80 to our final destination for the day at Des Moines, IA. Stayed at another great Best Western Motel. We will hopefully finish our trip tomorrow as we have about 550 miles left to go and plan to get an early start if we can both get up in time to get going to beat the Chicago rush hour traffic on I-80.
